So, so beautifully written! And yes, love…we must love others for love of God, but…our humanness so often gets in the way. It sounds so easy to just love people, and sometimes it can be one of the most difficult choices to make. And yet…when we love the people in our lives (most especially the difficult ones) for love of God, the sweetness it brings to our souls is breathtaking.
You're so right about human nature getting in the way...And I love what you said at the end about the sweetness it brings. That part I need to try and always remember when it gets difficult.

I love this! I love your sentence about justifications...I needed to hear this!💜 Thanks for your honest reflections
Thank you! I do this all the time - justifying things! I needed to hear it too…
